The Wild Case (2021)
The Wild Case seems to have begun life as yet another hidden object adventure before mutating into a beautiful but thoroughly domesticated point-and-click adventure that underwhelms in all respects but one.
Mark & Lara: Partners In Justice (2021)
A co-op crime solver may sound like a dream come true for mystery fans, but although Mark & Lara: Partners in Justice ticks the right boxes, it’s far too simplistic to fulfill its potential as an enjoyable two-player investigative game.
Into A Dream (2020)
A potentially interesting exploration of depression let down by poor storytelling and dearth of gameplay, Into A Dream is more likely to put you to sleep than rivet you.
The Unholy Society (2020)
To forgive is divine, but The Unholy Society comes up sinfully short in too many areas to deserve a full redemption without further acts of contrition in future installments.
Forgiveness (2019)
Forgiveness features a few memorable puzzles and its presentation is top-notch, but inconsistent design choices and the promise of a story that never materializes render it frustratingly unfulfilling.
Angelo and Deemon: One Hell of a Quest (0)
__medium.png)
Angelo and Deemon attempts to pay homage to the classic age of adventure gaming, but outside of a promising early premise it fails to deliver on its potential. Between frustrating puzzles and an exasperating translation, there are few reasons to travel down this highway to hell.
Play With Me (2018)
As a Saw-inspired escape room adventure, Play With Me is a concept that works well on paper, but too many design choices inevitably stack up to an unsatisfying slog through one keycode puzzle after another.
Gold Rush! 2 (2017)
Unlike its renowned predecessor by Sierra, Gold Rush! 2 fails to strike it rich. A historically interesting, slightly educational narrative can’t save the experience from its mind-numbingly easy puzzles and poor presentation in every respect.
Without Escape (2018)
The few complex puzzles in Without Escape tease a more involved room-escape adventure with greater potential, but as it stands, there’s simply no escaping the fact that it isn’t much fun.
Alice VR (2016)
Although much more playable on standard PCs, Alice is a great idea lost amid mountains of technical issues in VR. If you have endless amounts of patience and like Lewis Carroll a whole heck of a lot, this is your game. Otherwise, you probably won’t find it your cup of tea.
Life Is Strange: Before the Storm (2017)
Very self-aware of being a prequel to a bestseller, Before the Storm puts fan service and farfetched melodrama above cohesive storytelling, resulting in a superficial and disappointing experience.
Life Is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode One: Awake (2017)
Very self-aware of being a prequel to a bestseller, Before the Storm puts fan service and farfetched melodrama above cohesive storytelling, resulting in a superficial and disappointing experience.
Life Is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode Two: Brave New World (2017)
Very self-aware of being a prequel to a bestseller, Before the Storm puts fan service and farfetched melodrama above cohesive storytelling, resulting in a superficial and disappointing experience.
Life Is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode Three: Hell Is Empty (2017)
Very self-aware of being a prequel to a bestseller, Before the Storm puts fan service and farfetched melodrama above cohesive storytelling, resulting in a superficial and disappointing experience.
Escape from Pleasure Planet (2017)
The ideas behind Escape from Pleasure Planet are more impressive than its execution. As it stands, the game needs refinement to push its LGBTQ themes more to the forefront of the video game landscape.
Memoranda (2017)
Memoranda is visually stunning with an inviting atmosphere, but the lack of both plot and puzzle logic is too great to overcome.
Don’t Disturb (2016)
The superficial use of Asian motifs and a playable dog protagonist aren’t enough to flesh out the universal themes of life and death in the stylish but extremely short Don’t Disturb.
The Detail (2016)
The Detail sets out to provide a memorable police thriller with visual flair, but can’t quite seal the deal in either storytelling or gameplay across its three-part narrative arc.
The Detail: Episode 1 - Where the Dead Lie (2014)
The Detail sets out to provide a memorable police thriller with visual flair, but can’t quite seal the deal in either storytelling or gameplay across its three-part narrative arc.
The Detail: Episode 2 - From the Ashes (2015)
The Detail sets out to provide a memorable police thriller with visual flair, but can’t quite seal the deal in either storytelling or gameplay across its three-part narrative arc.
The Detail: Episode 3 - Devil in the Detail (2016)
The Detail sets out to provide a memorable police thriller with visual flair, but can’t quite seal the deal in either storytelling or gameplay across its three-part narrative arc.
Layers of Fear (2016)
More an incoherent collection of jump scares than a horror game, Layers of Fear occasionally spooks but doesn’t make much of a lasting impression.
Jerry McPartlin: Rebel with a Cause (2015)
It’s based on a fun idea and setting, but Jerry McPartlin isn’t nearly ambitious enough or committed enough to its humor to leave any lasting impact. What a drag.
Doorways: The Underworld (2014)
With three chapters down and one to go, the Doorways series still lacks the kind of compelling story or gameplay needed for a successful horror game.
Catmouth Island: Episode 1 (2014)
With little more to offer than superficial weirdness and pretty polygons in this series debut, it’s best to wait and see where Catmouth Island goes before investing any time in this underwhelming adventure.
